SHIFT 2026 is a one-day, all-in summit for L&D professionals who'd rather build the future than wait for it. Through focused keynotes, hands-on labs, and real conversations, you'll learn to apply AI-fluent techniques, human-centered design, and the modern L&D stack (Storyline, Rise, custom GPTs, no-code automation) to create measurable learning experiences. Sessions are small, collaborative, and tool-forward so you build with the technology — not just watch it.

This isn't another conference with a binder and a buffet. You'll leave with proof: a portfolio piece, a working tool, a published post, or a sharper rollout plan you can share on Monday. SHIFT is designed for career shifters and early-career builders—instructional designers, trainers-turned-strategists, learning technologists, and educators moving into corporate L&D. Spend a focused morning at Westgate Lakes Resort with practitioners who will expand your network, sharpen your skills, and reposition your role for the shift already changing how work gets learned.
